Seneca Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 There is no visible difference between Miter Join and Bevel Join when using Contour Tool on an object (second and third buttons). Also these buttons are not sticky like the corresponding buttons for Cap and Fill in the Contextual Toolbar. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think what is happening is that there is a pair (at least) of points nodes being made for the corner/apex which is screwing up the bevelling. Limited amount of playing around with this for now but I found this out when I would either Convert to Curves or use the Contour tool's Bake Appearance button on the context toolbar.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reproduced the buttons not showing their states so I will get that passed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a screencast of the problem areas I found. The arrow is the one showing no difference between the Miter Join and Bevel Join when object gets expanded. Going inward there is some difference there. I'm also including the Designer file with objects I played with. This is a hit and miss situation at the moment. Some objects seem to work OK some don't. The more complex ones are more problematic. contour.mov Contour.afdesign 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pass that over! telemax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted September 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks Telemax, See my post above - I've reported it to development. It occurs on any angle less than 60deg and there is currently no way to adjust the mitre like you can a stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
